[BULK] [SouthBayVeggies] Digest Number 1301

[Guest guest]

Kudos to everyone at EBAA and Rainbow grocery. We have ³three wise hens²

Hewey, Louie and Dewey who have been hand raised from new hatchlings and are

free ranging family companions. They are extremely tame and very loving and

friendly young ladies who love to be handled and patted. Everyone who is

introduced to our girls comes away with a VERY different perspective about

eating eggs from abused animals. I was wondering if there were any

potential events where our girls could come as visitors, so that people

could meet a chicken and understand what smart, friendly and loving little

critters they really are. Of course I would never want to traumatize or

little friends, but perhaps there is something that we can do to get the

message out further about the plight of so many other chickens. Any

thoughts gratefully accepted.

Regards

Karen
